Introductions and Procrastination Discussion

It occurred to me this morning that what I'm probably going to have to do is accept that, for the foreseeable future at least, I will: 

I was looking for a gratitude prayer I could relate to. Not as easy as it sounds to find. So in case it could be of use to somebody else, here it is:

Prayer for Expressing Gratitude

Gracious God, in the busy-ness of my day, I sometimes forget to stop to thank you for all that is good in my life.

I think the PA site should include an upfront warning to newcomers to protect their own anonymity.  I'm suggesting this thread as a place for others to comment on the topic of personal anonymity.

Hello my future friends and future comrades-in-proactivity!

I've always hated choosing a screen name for myself because I feel nothing I pick captures me well. That said, I chose Smokin' Al not because I use tobacco, but because I'm a certified BBQ judge and competitor. It's a hobby. What I do for a job is arts education and administration. Not a great time to be either, but I'm trying to figure out how to make it work.

Hi!  I am a chronic procrastinator when in comes to things I hate doing.  I am very spontantious and excited about doing things and want them done straight away if it is something fun/exciting/interesting.  I am having real trouble with housework.  I have 2 small children and I think I look after them pretty well, but I find it so hard to want to do the housework.  I spend way to much time on the net, as it is my fav hobby.  I tend to put it off til later, but later never comes.  Or until the house is in that much of a mess that I have to clean it.  I'm usually ok once I get started, b

My biggest area of procrastination throughout my life has involved writing. I just discovered a website that is helping me tremendously: http://750words.com. It is based on the idea of "morning pages" from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way -- a three-page stream-of-consciousness writing when you first get up. 750 words is about three pages. So you can do your morning pages on the website (at any time of day) and then earn "badges" for mounting up days of writing streaks. I joined 10 days ago.

I still have a hard time admitting to myself that I have an addictive personality and procrastination is far worst than my smoking and coffee drinking. But I am just fed up of seeing my life slipping away and disapointing myself and my husband. I am 40 and I just have wasted so much time, and so many opportunities. I just dont want to live like that anymore.

Hello everybody !

My name on the site is Perfectly_Human for I have just read The Now Habit by Neil Fiore and I liked the expression very much since I have always had a BIG problem with perfectionism. Since my early childhood, my mother has never been satisfied with any of my results. As a consequence, I became a very good student (but quite an unhappy one) and a great procrastinator... 

Arden- I have had extensive experience with severe depression
from the age of 8 on. I find it hard to fathom a child (i.e. me many
years ago) wishing (and attempting) to die on a daily basis now.  I just want to share
what my journey has been and do not intend to imply that my way is what
you should do. But I feel it is a story of hope...
